Thanks so much for your reply. It's a simple process. You simply need to sign a quit claim deed transferring your interest to your mother. The deed then needs to be witnessed, notarized, and recorded in the real property records of the city/county in which the property is located. Let me know if you need a template for a quit claim deed and I'll be happy to provide one for you.

Thank you so much for allowing me to help you with your questions. I have done my best to provide information which will be helpful to you. If I have not fully addressed your questions or if you have any follow up questions, or if I have misinterpreted your questions in any way, please do not rate me yet, but simply ask a follow up question without rating so I can provide you with a fully satisfactory answer. If I have fully answered your question(s) to your satisfaction, I would appreciate you rating my service with 3, 4, or 5 faces/stars so I can receive credit for helping you today. I thank you in advance for taking the time to provide me a positive rating!

If you could forward the template that would be great. Once notarized etc. is it in effect as soon as I send it to my mother's real estate agent? My mother signed a contract to sell her home. I do not want my signature on ANY of the paperwork in case she backs out of the deal and faces lawsuits. She sold the house too quickly and has not secured a new residence.

I have attached a template below. As soon as signed and delivered it is effective; but you want to make sure it gets recorded in the real property records so it's part of the public record for the title company.
